Welcome to Wrath King - the Wrath of the Lich King blog. Here we will cover all pre and post-launch events for Blizzard's upcoming World of Warcraft expansion pack The Wrath of the Lich King.
In addition to Saronite Bombs being disabled, there are a number of other hot fixes rolled out on live realms. Find them in Bornakk’s forum thread or better yet, read them below.
• Blood Queen Lana’thel will now begin her flight phase a little earlier in 25 player mode, Vampiric Bite is no longer mitigated by armor, and the damage of Vampiric Bite has been reduced.
• Toravon will now be affected appropriately by Area-of-Effect damage spells.
• The Frost Orb corpses in the Toravon encounter will now despawn faster.
• Players who are dead will now get credit as intended when defeating the Valithira Dreamwalker encounter.
• Players can no longer zone in while the Valithria Dreamwalker encounter is active.
• Anti Magic Shell no longer resets the Mystic Buffet stacks in the Sindragosa encounter.
• The Val’kyr in the Lich King encounter are no longer affected by Death Grip and will head to ledges faster.
Considering they only just patched recently, it’s very likely there will be more batches of fixes over the next few days so stay posted.
Here is a video meant to be a parody and comedy. Watch a pair of guys rocking out to how much they prefer Azeroth to the doldrums of real life. The musical style may not be that impressive but is quite effective for the kind of tongue-in-cheek humor..
Who would guess that playing a WoW game is lucrative? William Postlewaite a.k.a. Billy P. thanks his lucky star when he won $50,000 just for playing the WoW Trading Card Game (TCG) very, very well.
Postlethwait won the World of Warcraft’s Trading Card Game world championships early this month. And while he’s won $4,000 or $5,000 from other card games, the $50,000 bounty and glass trophy were the best he’s ever done playing cards.
There may not be loads of information on the actual mechanics behind Billy P.’s win but it is interesting to get to know the player himself. All we know is he works in a game store while going to school to learn finance. He also spent about two months of testing deck of cards with a friend before he found the one that he thought could all the way. What does he plan to do with all of his winnings? He is planning to buy a house. It is good to know that wild sum of money won by card game players are well spent.
